Critical Speed & Looping

A bucket containing water is revolved in a vertical circle of radius rr. To prevent the water from falling down, the minimum frequency of revolution required is

(g=g = acceleration due to gravity)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. At the top: ω2r≥g⇒ωmin=gr\omega^2 r \ge g \Rightarrow \omega_{min} = \sqrt{\frac{g}{r}}
  2. fmin=ωmin2π=12πgrf_{min} = \frac{\omega_{min}}{2\pi} = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{g}{r}}
  3. So the answer is (c).
